THis 14 minute monster features a lot of blistering, fuzz guitar leads- garcia doing the monsters of rock soloing as only he can- and Phil plays terrific counterpoint to all this- It is tasty and inventive throughout- some long LIG can be repetitive- not this one. And the scarlet fire is a stand out in a stand out year for the combo- you really should check this show out

I came across one of your reviews and then searched under your name for other reviews - I dig how you point out obscure shows that are excellent but not been 'in the rotation' - thanks man.
I'm a HUGE fan of scarlet-fires so I'm looking forward to listening to this. I'm been getting into the early 80's lately and I've never heard this show.
Good work!

For another great LIG I humbly submit 5/1/81

(AUD better than the SBD, a rarity)
and for a SCARLET>FIRE that goes places many others fear to tread check out 9/25/81, Lehigh Univ.

The transition to Fire and the FIRE itself are amazing (forgive Jerry the one lyric screw up in verse one) and the SCARLET is no slouch either--tremendous Brent contributions, esp. on vocals.
